Beautiful Blogger Girl

I needed something cool to post on my blog so last night I went to a Thai dessert party. It was at my friend Jenna's apartment. She works with me at the good ole' HBLL. Anyway I told her I was going to bring my camera for a new blog post so right when I walked in she took my camera and took a picture of me and these strangers. I guess they aren't strangers because I had known them for a whole 3 seconds. One of them called me beautiful blogger girl. It was great because I always struggle trying to find a title for my post and that was perfect. Fitting isn't it? :) Anyway, the dessert was really good and then I stayed up with Jenna and her roommate Lindsay watching 13 going on 30. I haven't stayed out that late in about 3 1/2 months. When you have a boyfriend with a mission call who was asked to be in at 10:30 everynight by his stake president, you don't have many late night movies like that. I don't have a letter from Kam yet but it should come in the mail today!

You pretty much rock my socks! I'm SO excited to live in New Zealand with you! We're gonna paint the town orange.

And you should probably share where you got that audio clip from. I want one but haven't figured out how to do that.

That's so ironic...for my next post I was going to call myself beautiful blogger girl too, but decided to go with big bellied momma bursting at the seems.

I AM PECULIAR (this is a permanent post. If you have already read it, scroll down to see my latest)

Those of you who read my blog could probably make a list of all the reasons that you think I am a bit peculiar. No worries, I would be the first to shout an amen to everything you could think of. I know I’m peculiar; but let me tell you the number one thing on my list that I think makes me a peculiar person.

I know where I come from, why I am here and where I am going. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some of you will know me as a “Mormon” although that is just a nickname. The word ‘Saint’ just means ‘member’ in this context. I believe in God the Eternal Father, that I am a daughter of God, and that He loves me and wants me to be happy. I believe in my Savior Jesus Christ who lived a perfect life, atoned for my sins, died and was resurrected all that I might enjoy the blessing of being forgiven of my sins, and having my body and spirit reunited after death. I know that just as God called prophets in the Old and New Testament times that He has in fact called a prophet to lead and guide us today. I believe that families can live together for eternity; death does not have to be the end of our relationships with the ones we love. Some of you may wonder how on earth I can know these things. As I learn more and more from the Bible and other scriptures and actually live what I learn I see the promises the Lord has made being fulfilled in my life, and I feel the Holy Spirit bear witness that these things are true.

I know, I’m peculiar, but thankfully there are over 13 million other peculiar members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and with each year that number grows. I feel so much joy and happiness in my life because of this knowledge. If you want to know more depth about anything I have said that makes me peculiar, visit www.mormon.org. This website explains in detail much of what I have just professed to believe and more.
